Please enjoy this interview I did on The Vibe with Kelly Cardenas. Good times. open.spotify.com/episode/60z…
Many years ago I remember my parents dressing up for Halloween, my mom dressed up as a brick and my father as a brick layer. Back then I didn't understand. Now I’m like OMG! 😂🤣
On this day in 1955, R&B group The Famous Flames, lead by singer James Brown, cut their first demo of ‘Please, Please, Please’ at a radio station in Macon Georgia. It would lead to their signing with King Records.

“power whether vested in many or a few is ever grasping, and like the grave cries give, give.” - Abigail Adams

“Rather than assume the care of the slaves, they would control labor with the use of capital. It necessarily followed that, when the laborer ceased to be of service because of sickness or old age, he would be of no concern to capital. He could either get well or die without the capitalists being obliged to provide medical attention or bury the dead. Such was the interest that capital had in the result of the Civil War. The people of this country poured out both their treasure and their blood to establish the political and industrial independence of humanity, and the mercenary capitalists turned a trick of finance and converted the enormous sacrifice made by the people during that struggle into a victory for capital in order that they might enforce upon humanity the industrial slavery that the trusts preferred rather than the chattel slavery which then existed in the Southern States.” - Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. of Minnesota, in his book: Banking and Currency, and the Money Trust (1913) in opposition to the Federal Reserve. He was the father of the famed aviator.

Just recently discovered that AI uses 1000x more energy to solve an equation than a human brain does…I guess this is their solution. God is going to have to step in pretty soon
Disturbing
Hey @grok, is this true??
Some data centers now run on lab-grown human brain neurons derived from stem cells, wired directly to silicon chips via electrode arrays, and kept alive on life support. Fed sugar every few days. They play Doom. We don’t know if they’re conscious.

Hey @Chase These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.
A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy. Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re-routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today.
